The Asia Pacific region offers unique insights into social transformation processes triggered by national and international development policies and their effects at local, regional and transnational level. The Centre for Asia Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS) seeks to examine these processes through innovative research by combining methods from a variety of disciplines, including political science, economics, management studies, sociology, anthropology, media studies, social history and language and literature studies.

CAPSTRANS is an Australian Research Council Key Centre for Teaching and Research and a joint venture of the University of Wollongong and the University of Newcastle. Its aim is to examine how globalisation and regional integration are affecting local communities and national societies in order to increase our understanding of the complex processes of social and cultural change which are shaping the region in which we live.

The Centre is working closely with scholars, policy-makers and non-governmental organisations within Australian and around the region and providing information, analysis and policy advice to a range of regional government agencies. As well, it plays an important role in research networks linked to international organisations such as the International Labour Organisation, UNESCO, APEC, PECC, the World Trade Organisation, ASEAN, International Organisation for Migration, the Asian Development Bank and The World Bank.
